Oxford Cheetahs have taken to the road this week in a bid to heighten the team's profile in the coming season.

Newly-appointed community officer Chris Brown has organised the road show and it will involve most of the team throughout the tour.

They are visiting local supermarkets in Oxford, Bicester and Didcot, and both the Mabel Pritchard and Iffley Mead schools.

Promoter Vanessa Purchase said: "Speedway is one of the country's best kept secrets and we need to get out there and tell everyone about it. We want everyone to know that speedway is alive and kicking at Oxford."

Cheetahs will be hoping to beat the weather this Friday when they take on Coventry in a return challenge.
